Chapter 212: The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is a traitor to the country
The main purpose of Xue Ruoxue's visit to the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion was to destroy the box containing the goddess's clothes. The holy light that day could not be felt by ordinary people. The thing that crawled out of her devil's cave was most afraid of the holy light, so even if she was hiding in the house, she felt the pain that day.
A little relic can have such a powerful power. If this power awakens Su Xiaoxiao's blood, she will not be her opponent, so she first sent a group of people to hold Su Xiaoxiao back.
This group of people mainly went to cause trouble for the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and most of them were gangsters, so their methods were not very good. They mainly listed several major crimes of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion at the door.
The first thing to be affected was that they secretly obtained the test questions, and in order to prevent Zhao Liming from being so conspicuous, they let Kang Lun get the first place. Kang Lun, who was originally attacked together, has now become a victim in their mouths.
The second thing was that Su Xiaoxiao was a witch of unknown origin. She used witchcraft to seduce the monarch, so that the Su family got a lot of rewards for no reason, and the whole family got official positions and titles.
In addition to shouting slogans, they also splashed dog blood in the mansion of the Duke of Zhenguo, and posted talismans outside the mansion. But they only shouted outside and did not go into the house for the time being.
When the people came, Su Xiaoxiao was taking a nap. Zhao Wanyue called Xiaohong over and asked her to add a chicken leg every night in exchange for blocking out the noise outside so that Xiaoxiao wouldn't hear it and let Xiaoxiao sleep a little longer.
Although Xiaohong had no resistance to chicken legs, she was still a little hesitant.
Zhao Wanyue saw her worry and assured her again and again that this was to prevent others from making things difficult for Xiaoxiao in the future, and that she would have her own way to deal with the people outside.
Xiaohong happily agreed and obediently watched over Su Xiaoxiao while she took a nap.
The noise outside became more and more intense, and Kang Lun, who lived in the side yard, heard the noise. Feeling that he was responsible for the incident, he went out to discuss it with everyone, and Su Changhe and Zhao Wanyue could not stop him.
Zhao Wanyue knew that he had Xiaoxiao's barrier to protect him, and she suddenly had an idea. She told Kang Lun a few words and let him go.
Kang Lun naturally argued that he was able to pass the exam because of his hard work over the years and that he definitely did not know the test questions in advance. He also said in a sly way: "I know that everyone has studied hard for ten years and wants to pass the exam, but studying depends on talent to a certain extent. My family is poor and I have never had a book of my own until now. I have come to this day relying on my talent and hard work. Although the joint examination is over, there is still the palace examination. Why not study hard and waste time here?"
These words stabbed the hearts of those failed scholars like a knife. Kang Lun was not here to persuade them. He was clearly showing off and scolding them for being incompetent. How many people here did not even qualify for the palace examination.
"Kang Luan, you are taking advantage of me, you are so good, the big tree of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion in Bashang has even become bad, everyone, beat him up!" Kang
Luan was covered with a barrier cast by Su Xiaoxiao, so they didn't get any damage from Kang Luan, but they were hurt by the backlash.
"Who, who beat us?" They didn't understand, and thought it was someone from the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion who attacked them secretly, which made them even more angry.
"They are going too far. They said they wanted Kang Luan to come out and clarify, but in fact they are deliberately mocking us and doing something behind our backs. With this kind of behavior, I don't believe that they didn't steal the test questions!"
"That's right, they are going too far. We have to go in and ask for an explanation."
Those thugs have been leading the rhythm, saying that they are protecting each other, ganging up on the dissidents, and leaving no way for ordinary people to survive.
They also said that the Duke of Zhenguo spent money to deceive everyone to join the army, but in fact it was to strengthen the puppet army. To put it bluntly, they deceived those people and turned them into puppets.
The biggest evidence of this incident is that the treatment of those soldiers was too good. Whose family gave a one-time subsidy of 20 taels for conscription, and also gave their families 1 tael of living expenses every month. This is the manifestation of being guilty! Otherwise, who would be so stupid as to waste so much money.
In this way, things have returned to the starting point. Su Xiaoxiao is a witch, and they are in cahoots with Dayin.
They used a trick to kill the Minister of War and the Minister of Works of Dashuo, just to cultivate their own power and disintegrate Dashuo.
The rumors were so uncontrollable that in just a few words, the Zhenguogong Mansion changed from a thief who stole test questions to a traitor who harbored evil intentions, excluded dissidents, and allied with Dayin. What
they said was very convincing, and many people around were incited to come over. They left Kang Lun at the door and shouted for the Zhenguogong Mansion to give everyone an explanation. Some people
were even ready to break down the door, and the servants were anxious. Su Changhe was guarding the door with a spear in his hand, with a stern look on his face. Lian
Xuan ran over and said, "Madam, all the valuables in the house have been put away."
Zhao Wanyue walked over slowly, took the spear from Su Changhe's hand and said, "Go open the door and let them in."
Su Changhe refused: "Mom, they are so aggressive. If we let them in, they will definitely smash our house."
Zhao Wanyue looked calm: "Let them smash it. Take this opportunity to let them clear up their misunderstanding of Xiaoxiao and let everyone see who is harboring evil intentions."
Su Changhe didn't quite understand what his mother meant, but he still asked someone to open the door.
Those who knocked on the door missed and all fell in.
Zhao Wanyue showed a horrified expression and said, "What are you going to do? Let's talk it over. I'm the only woman with two children at home. How can I do such a thing? You must be mistaken!"
A gangster shouted, "Don't act pitiful here. There must be evidence of collusion with the enemy in their family. Whoever finds it will have made a great contribution."
When everyone heard this, they rushed in like a swarm of bees, making the main hall of the mansion a mess.
Fortunately, before they entered the inner courtyard, Tang Yanjun rushed over with his men and horses to stop them.
He said angrily: "You are such a bold lunatic, you broke into the mansion of the Duke of Zhenguo. This is a capital crime!"
Someone shouted: "Don't listen to his nonsense, he is the uncle of this family, maybe he is also a spy who colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country. Everyone, stop them and we will find evidence."
The people brought by Tang Yanjun started fighting with these mobs. For a while, the scene was in chaos.
Su Changhe saw that his uncle had started fighting, so he had no time to spare and started fighting with them.
Lian Xuan was anxious: "Madam, they have more people and more power, we are going to suffer a loss!"
Zhao Wanyue smiled slightly: "Don't worry, it will be more lively if we fight, the reinforcements will be here soon."
Lian Xuan was puzzled: "Madam, the second wife of my mother's family went to Anyuan County, where can we get reinforcements?"
As she was talking, she heard the sound of galloping horses in the distance, and Zhao Wanyue's brows relaxed: "Look, the reinforcements are coming, aren't they?"
